My Dad just handed me about two pounds of scrap silver solder of unknown alloy. According to Dad it was saved by my grandfather who made repairs to the wiring harness conduits of radial engines shortly after World War II. Apparently he desoldered (Brazed) the conduits at the joints, removed various dings and dents in them and later resoldered (Brazed) them for return to service. I believe these conduits were made of stainless but am not certain. Anyone have any idea of what alloy it might be? How about it's value for silver content? Can it be used as silver solder again or would it be too contaminated to reuse? Any information from those who may have done similar work would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Thank you!
